New! Viking Mousse

And how could it not? I mean, look at the awesomeness that is Viking Mousse.

There was no way I could walk away from this. C’mon, people. It has HORNS! I couldn’t wait to bust inside and check it out.

And in truth, this is actually a fairly simple dessert: a chocolate mousse dome, twin tuile cookie horns, and a garnish of toasted coconut.

But once you get a fork into it, you realize that the outer coating is a thin layer of dark ganache covering the mousse center. There are no surprises; just deep, rich, chocolate mousse. And that was fine with me.

Because really, does everything need a filling? The mousse is the consistency of a thick, whipped ganache. Super decadent. And beyond that, anything else would be overkill.

So just in case you can’t tell yet, I thought this was a thoroughly fun addition to the already beloved bakery in Norway! It has everything — it’s delicious, it’s a good portion size that won’t leave you feeling too heavy, and it’s pretty stinkin’ adorable. It’s certainly not the most original dessert that I’ve had at Disney. I mean, mousse with cookies. But the clever themeing makes this something really special. So if you are craving chocolate at Epcot and I can definitely recommend this delicious dessert.

Well, I absolutely love the Norwegian Bakery; I try to eat there on every trip. Both their sandwiches and desserts are always so good. This new Viking Mousse looks like a real winner, and yes, it is adorable!

I love Kringla so much! I never go to Disney without stopping in and getting something delicious.
I saw the Viking Mousse during my last visit a few weeks ago, but I decided to go with the Verden’s Beste and the Lefse instead. The Verden’s Beste didn’t ‘wow’ me, but the Lefse was AMAZING! I loved the combination of sweet and salty, and for ~$2 it’s a great deal for a filling and not-to-sweet snack.
